Hi! I'm glad that you're taking the step to seek support! I know reaching out for help can be one of the hardest decisions, and I applaud you for making the decision. I'm a psychology major. I've struggled with anxiety my entire life. I struggled with depression for over five years. I was bullied for about seven or eight years. I'm also part of the LGBTQ+ community. I've been in therapy for the past year and am doing amazing because of it. I'm here for you if you want some support.

If I'm online and you want to chat, send me a message. If I'm offline or busy and you want to chat, you can send me a message, and I'll respond to it as soon as possible. We can also set up a time to chat if you don't need someone to talk to right away.

Kati Morton is a therapist who is also a youtuber. She makes videos about mental health. I know that finances are often a consideration when starting or even continuing therapy. She has a video that covers how to get financial help for therapy. She covers the topic from 6:04 to 8:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_fFWXVRTV0 She also has another video that covers financial options for several kinds of treatment. It's marked as a video about eating disorder treatment, but it can be applied to mental health treatment in general. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV9fjktyjfo
